If a delivery driver backs into your city water main because your complex doesn't have a proper loading dock, how long does it take, on average, for the water main to be repaired? Imagine this is in urban California.

Okay, I'm confused here.

Why is a water main even in a position for a delivery driver to back into it? Usually those would be underground. Did he smash right through a wall and damage the part inside the building?

If it's in southern California, i could see it not being buried that deep, and maybe also being above ground in some circumstances.

Interesting statistic that lines up with the stories I’ve heard about Elon hating safety markings.

However, any injuries that occur at those other companies’ factories outside the US don’t count towards their OSHA numbers, and since most of their labor occurs outside the US (unlike Tesla), I feel like this graph is probably unfairly biased.

or you could look at it by vehicles produced per injury report. the ford dearborn truck plant alone produces about as many vehicles per year as all tesla production. and ford has 24 other factories in the US

Ford has 25 factories in the US. This includes parts factories. Tesla operates 6 factories in the US, also including parts factories. And some of those factories are producing stuff for Tesla's solar stuff. Even if 80% of Ford's factories are tiny, that doesn't really show bias against Tesla.

The main is the thing buried in the street that serves multiple properties. Presumably you're talking about the individual building's water service line, from where it exits the ground to where it enters your building. If that's the case, it's the property owner's responsibility to repair it, not the city's so it depends on how long whoever they pay to do it takes, and then likely some inspection time.

I stand corrected, I vastly underestimated how many people American automakers (other than Tesla) still employ in this country. I thought it was an order of magnitude or two less.

From what I can find by googling, Nissan has 16000 employees engaged in manufacturing in the US, Ford has 50700, toyota has 32000, and Tesla is claiming something like 20-30000 assembling cars. So yeah they’re really loving something up safety wise.

Nissan needs to get their poo poo together too, as many injuries as Ford, but 1/3 as many people.

In california I think there are laws about residences being without running water for a certain amount of time, with a threat of fines if it's not repaired soon enough. You could maybe check with your county health department, some visibility at an official level might help get it repaired faster.

The reunification centre is not to work but to collect all the employees that were scattered throughout the building and make sure they’re alright.

Usually there is an emergency muster station or evacuation location where they’d meet after evacuating the building so the wardens can account for everyone.

Sounds like they’re also encouraging families to go there. I’m presuming that some employees were expecting to be picked up from work after their shift and now their work is on fire they’ll have to get picked up from the secondary location which for some reason has a brand new name of “reunification center”.

Depends on what you mean by "stand a chance". The stuff that's currently on fire is probably not saveable, but they might be able to stop the rest of it from catching while the fire burns itself out.

Reunification center sounds like something the Russian government would call where they send Ukrainian refugees.

yeah the building and its contents are a total loss so it's defensive ops only and much of that media was before additional crews arrived. there's probably not enough flow/pressure in the hydrants to deal with something of that size anyways. my question is did the building have a sprinkler system? if not, why the gently caress not? can a fire even get that big if there's properly designed and implemented sprinklers?
